Answer:  Hello, in this short article I will show you how to connect to Linux Ubuntu 20 using the Windows Remote #Desktop tool also known as RDP. In order to connect to the Linux Desktop running #Ubuntu 20, you need to install a library or program on the Linux Desktop called xrdp.

Linux Desktop allows you to toggle the settings for Remote #Connection by navigating to "Settings"
then "Sharing". Flip the switch to allow remote connection to the Server.



Run the command below:
1. sudo apt install xrdp #on the Linux server/desktop
